عَلامَ تَستَصعِبُ الأَمرَ

لا تَرى مِنهُ بُدّا

Why do you wonder at the matter

You see no escape from it

بادِر وَخَلِّ الهُوَينى

وَجِدَّ كيما تُجَدّا

Take the initiative and abandon distraction

And devote yourself completely

فَلَن تُلاقِيَ جَدّاَ

حَتّى تُلاقِيَ كَدّا

For you will never find success

Until you find hardship
